She recounted her disappoint in a video she posted on Twitter. “It’s Jan. 9, and yesterday the Black Panther tickets went on sale,” Nyong'o said. “I put it on my social media, I was so excited -- 'Get your tickets now! -- and then it occurred to me that I should get my tickets too so I can be there when the movie hits theaters and I can experience it with everybody. Fifteen minutes later -- I kid you not, 15 minutes later -- I was trying to purchase tickets and they were sold out. Sold out!"

The ticket-buying frenzy is only the latest aspect to the excitement surrounding Black Panther. When the film’s cast was announced in 2016, the film became one of the top trending topics on Twitter. Most recently, it’s been announced that Kendrick Lamar and TDE are producing the film’s soundtrack with the soundtrack’s title song, “All the Stars,” out now.
